Spells in <i>Harry Potter</i></b> occur in the fictional wizarding world of the series of books by author J.K Rowling magic spells are used by many of the characters to achieve useful effects without the benefit of modern technology. The main depiction of a "spell" in the Harry Potter books consists of a gesture made with the character's&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_objects_in_Harry_Potter#Wand" title="Magical objects in Harry Potter"></a>wand, combined with a spoken or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonverbal_communication" title="Nonverbal communication"></a>mental incantation. In the books and the associated film series the names of the majority of these spells or the incantations used to effect them are derived from the classical languages, particularly Latin, These names are not grammatically correct in any language; most spoken phrases resemble Latin words of appropriate meaning but are not proper Latin themselves.</div><div style="color: black;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z27pIOaI6q8/TzUXe1_Pj8I/AAAAAAAAAEk/rI_K-ZgSn7U/s1600/harry_potter_spells_infographic_by_seanchunseianliew-d4g8n37.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z27pIOaI6q8/TzUXe1_Pj8I/AAAAAAAAAEk/rI_K-ZgSn7U/s320/harry_potter_spells_infographic_by_seanchunseianliew-d4g8n37.jpg" width="226" /></a></div><div style="color: black;"><br /></div><div style="color: black;">In&nbsp;<i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Potter_and_the_Half-Blood_Prince" title="Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince"></a>Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince</i> the concept of casting spells nonverbally is introduced. Earlier, every spell cast by the principal characters had been accompanied by the appropriate voiced incantation, although advanced adult practitioners of magic had cast nonverbal spells in previous books. Consequently, the incantations used for some spells introduced in <i>Half-Blood Prince</i> and its sequel <i>Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows</i> are unavailable.</div><div style="color: black;">Spells are listed here by their incantations (when known), with their vernacular names in parenthesis. Some spells have no known incantation – the only reference in the text is by an informal name, either because in its only appearance in the relevant book it was cast nonverbally, or because it was never depicted in the books, only mentioned. The majority of spells cast in duels between adult characters in all seven books appear nonverbally; only their effects can identify such spells.</div><div style="color: black;"><br /></div><h3 style="color: black;"> <span class="mw-headline" id="Accio_.28Summoning_Charm.29"><i>Accio</i> (Summoning Charm)</span></h3><dl style="color: black;"><dd><b>Pronunciation:</b> Various suggestions have been made, including: <dl><dd><span class="IPA" title="Pronunciation in IPA"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IPA_for_English" title="Wikipedia:IPA for English">/ˈæki.oʊ/</a></span> <span class="IPA" title="English pronunciation respelling"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Pronunciation_respelling_key" title="Wikipedia:Pronunciation respelling key"><i><b><span style="font-variant: small-caps;">ak</span></b>-ee-oh</i></a></span> – film and video game</dd><dd><span class="IPA" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">/ˈæksi.oʊ/</span> <span class="IPA" title="English pronunciation respelling"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Pronunciation_respelling_key" title="Wikipedia:Pronunciation respelling key"><i><b><span style="font-variant: small-caps;">ak</span></b>-see-oh</i></a></span> – U.K. audio book</dd><dd><span class="IPA" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">/ˈæsi.oʊ/</span> <span class="IPA" title="English pronunciation respelling"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Pronunciation_respelling_key" title="Wikipedia:Pronunciation respelling key"><i><b><span style="font-variant: small-caps;">as</span></b>-see-oh</i></a></span> – U.S. audio book</dd><dd><span class="IPA" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">/ˈætʃi.oʊ/</span> <span class="IPA" title="English pronunciation respelling"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Pronunciation_respelling_key" title="Wikipedia:Pronunciation respelling key"><i><b><span style="font-variant: small-caps;">at</span></b>-chee-oh</i></a></span> - Anglo-Latin pronunciation</dd></dl></dd><dd><b>Description:</b> This charm summons an object to the caster, potentially over a significant distance.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-BigRead_1-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_spells_in_Harry_Potter#cite_note-BigRead-1"><span>[</span>2<span>]</span></a></sup> Its opposite is the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_spells_in_Harry_Potter#.28Banishing_Charm.29" title="List of spells in Harry Potter">Banishing Charm</a>.</dd><dd><b>Seen/mentioned:</b> First mentioned in <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Potter_and_the_Goblet_of_Fire" title="Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire">Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire</a></i>, when it was briefly used by <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molly_Weasley" title="Molly Weasley">Molly Weasley</a> on the Weasley twins to confiscate their Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes' products from their pockets, before they left for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quidditch" title="Quidditch">Quidditch</a> World Cup.

According to Ron Weasely, the spell causes death to anyone who breaks the vow.</dd><dd><b>Seen/mentioned:</b> Snape takes an Unbreakable Vow with <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissa_Malfoy" title="Narcissa Malfoy">Narcissa Malfoy</a> at the beginning of <i>Half-Blood Prince</i>, vowing to help Narcissa's son Draco with a task given to him by Voldemort, and to finish the task should Draco prove incapable.<sup><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Potter_and_the_Half-Blood_Prince" title="Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince">[HBP&nbsp;Ch.2]</a></sup> Fred and George attempted to force an Unbreakable Vow upon Ron as children.</dd></dl><h3 style="color: black;"> <span class="mw-headline" id=".28Undetectable_Extension_Charm.29">(Undetectable Extension Charm)</span></h3><dl style="color: black;"><dd><b>Description:</b> Causes a container's capacity to be increased, without changing the object's external appearance.</dd><dd><b>Seen/mentioned:</b> This spell is used by Mr Weasley to allow eight people, six large trunks, two owls, and a rat to fit comfortably inside his modified Ford Anglia in <i>Chamber of Secrets</i>.

I get the best motivators in my life to climb the hills! The one who gave me love to find the sun, and everytime when I was down. They'd always come around and get my feet back on the ground.

Hanya hal kecil tapi sering terlupakan, padahal berpengaruh besar terhadap kehidupan kita. Apa saja nasehat bijak Einstein? Yuk kita lihat.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nlkrLWHxbeE/TyH5Zbp6WzI/AAAAAAAAABg/u7IFprAYG34/s1600/albert-einstein-kata-bijak.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nlkrLWHxbeE/TyH5Zbp6WzI/AAAAAAAAABg/u7IFprAYG34/s1600/albert-einstein-kata-bijak.jpg" /></a></div>1. Buntuti Terus Rasa Ingin Tahu Anda<br /> <blockquote>“Saya bukan memiliki bakat khusus. Hanya selalu menikmati rasa ingin tahu saja.”</blockquote>Membaca kutipan Einstein di atas membuat kita bertanya-tanya. Seperti apa rasa ingin tahu itu? Saya selalu bertanya-tanya mengapa ada orang sukses, sementara banyak lainnya gagal?<br /> Karena itu banyak-banyaklah menghabiskan banyak waktu membaca banyak bahan. Mencari tahu koneksi berbagai hal terhadap kata ‘sukses’. Mengejar jawaban rasa ingin tahu Anda adalah kunci rahasia kesukesan.<br /> 2. Tekun itu Tak Ternilai<br /> <blockquote>“Saya bukannya pintar, boleh dikatakan hanya bertahan lebih lama menghadapi masalah.”</blockquote>Bayangkan seekor kura-kura di tengah rimba gunung, sementara dia ingin menuju pantai. Atau, apakah Anda setekun tunas mangga terus-menerus bertumbuh, berkembang sehingga akhirnya berbuah?<br /> Ada ungkapan bagus yang popular di kalangan pegawai pos, ‘Selembar prangko menjadi bernilai hanya karena ketika dia menempel pada surat hingga mengantarnya sampai ke tujuan’. Jadilah seperti prangko, selesaikan apa yang sudah Anda mulai.<br /> 3. Fokus pada saat ini.<br /> <blockquote>“Seorang pria yang bisa menyetir dengan aman sementara mencium gadis cantik, sebenarnya tidak memberi penghargaan yang layak untuk ciumannya itu.”</blockquote>Einstein kok ngomongin tentang ciuman ya? Ah, itu kan hanya istilah saja, Tapi saya ingin cerita tentang kejadian ketika sesorang menjaga kebun duren di kebun.<br /> Begitu banyak kera seperti menunggu si penjaga lengah dan menyikat durian ranum di atas pohon. Kemudian seorang lainnya berkata, bahwa Anda tak akan bisa menembak dua kera sekaligus.<br /> Pengertian yang bisa disimpulkan atas kata-kata tersebut adalah, ‘Seseorang bisa melakukan banyak hal, tapi bukan semua hal sekaligus’.<br /> Belajar untuk ‘berada di sini, saat ini’, berikan perhatian kepada apa yang sedang Anda kerjakan. Energi terfokus adalah sumber kekuatan. Itulah perbedaan antara kesuksesan dan kegagalan.<br /> 4. Imaginasi adalah kekuatan<br /> <blockquote>“Imaginasi adalah segalanya. Imaginasi adalah penarik masa depan. Imaginasi lebih penting daripada pengetahuan.”</blockquote>Ungkapan Einstein ini sangat terkenal. Apakah Anda berimajinasi setiap hari? Imaginasi lebih penting dari pengetahuan!<br /> Imaginasi memainkan satu babak awal dalam pentas hidup masa depan Anda. Lagi, kata Einstein, “Tanda kejeneniusan sesungguhnya bukanlah pengetahuan melainkan imaginasi.”<br /> Sekali lagi, apakah Anda sudah melatih otot-otot imaginasi Anda setiap hari? Jangan biarkan otot-otot itu menjadi kurus dan sakit-sakitan.<br /> Hidup tanpa imajinasi seperti mengikuti aliran sungai, pasrah mengikuti apapun kemauan dan ke mana arahnya. Tak memiliki kuasa atas apapun terhadap pilihan ataupun keinginan. Menyedihkan.<br /> 5. Buat Kesalahan<br /> <blockquote>“Seseorang yang tidak pernah membuat kesalahan sebenarnya tak pernah mencoba sesuatu yang baru.”</blockquote>Einstein tak pernah takut dengan kesalahan. Tak perlu alergi dengan kesalahan. Catat baik-baik, KESALAHAN bukan KEGAGALAN.<br /> Dua hal tadi berbeda. Kesalahan-kesalahan dapat membantu Anda menjadi lebih baik, lebih cepat, lebih cerdas, jika Anda menggunakannya dengan tepat tentunya.<br /> Carilah sesuatu berbau baru (something new) dari kesalahan Anda. Seperti sudah dibilang sebelumnya, jika ingin sukses, belajar lebih banyak dari kesalahan Anda.<br /> 6. Hidup pada saat ini<br /> <blockquote>“Saya tak pernah memikirkan masa depan–itu akan datang sesaat lagi.”</blockquote>Satu-satunya jalan agar hidup Anda baik dimasa depan adalah hidup dengan baik pada saat sekarang. Ah, lagi-lagi nasehat bijak untuk menyikapi waktu dengan tepat oleh pakar fisika quantum Einstein.<br /> Sangat tak mungkin mengubah kemarin karena sudah terjadi. Yang bisa Anda lakukan sekarang adalah mengubah cara pandang Anda saat ini tentang kemarin agar menjadi lebih baik.<br /> Anda juga tidak bisa mengubah besok menjadi lebih baik, kecuali jika Anda melakukan yang terbaik pada saat ini. Masalahnya hanya tentang waktu, dan waktu tidak pernah ke mana-mana kok.<br /> 7. Hargai diri Anda<br /> <blockquote>“Berusahalah dengan keras bukan untuk menjadi sukses, tapi untuk menjadi lebih berharga.”</blockquote>Tak perlu lah banting tulang untuk menjadi lebih sukes. Luangkan waktu Anda untuk menaikkan nilai diri Anda.<br /> Jika Anda memang bernilai, sukses akan datang menghampiri Anda. Apakah Einstein bekerja lebih keras untuk sukses? Mungkin dia hanya terus menerus berinvestasi untuk meningkatkan nilai dirinya. Sukses datang sendiri kepadanya.<br /> Kenali bakat dan berkah karunia-Nya kepada Anda. Belajarlah mengasah mereka menjadi lebih tajam, gunakan untuk memberi manfaat sebanyak-banyaknyak kepada orang lain.<br /> Bekerjalah untuk menjadi bernilai, sukses akan mengejar Anda. Apakah berlian harganya sama dengan kerikil? Anda punya jawabannya. Keduanya mengalami tekanan berbeda sehingga membedakan nilainya.<br /> 8. Jangan mengharapkan Hasil Berbeda<br /> <blockquote>“Kegilaan: adalah melakukan sesuatu dengan cara sama berulang-ulang dan mengharapkan hasil berbeda.”</blockquote>Nasehat bijak Enstein di atas adalah favorit saya. Anda jangan mengharapkan hasil menjadi lebih baik jika Anda masih bertahan dengan cara yang Anda pakai sekarang.<br /> Dengan ungkapan lain, Anda mimpi mengharapkan otot bisep Anda menjadi lebih ‘seksi’ jika masih mengangkat barbel ringan terus menerus.<br /> Jika ingin hidup Anda berubah, Anda harus berubah. Mengubah cara pikir, cara pandang dan cara melakukan sesuatu.<br /> Ketika Anda mengubah pikiran Anda, mengubah sudut pandang Anda, mengubah tindakan Anda, hidup Anda akan berubah dengan sendirinya.<br /> Bayangkan hal berikut: Ada seorang gadis manis tepat di depanmu. Bandingkan kedua aksi berikut. Pertama, kamu senyum tulus, reaksi si gadis adalah membalas senyummu. Kedua, kamu melotot padanya, bisa ditebak apa reaksi si gadis?<br /> 9. Pengetahuan terasah melalui Pengalaman<br /> <blockquote>“Informasi bukanlah pengetahuan. Satu-satunya sumber pengetahuan adalah pengalaman.”</blockquote>Pengetahuan itu berasal dari pengalaman. Anda bisa mendiskusikan sebuah proyek, tapi diskusi itu hanya akan memberi Anda informasi.<br /> Anda harus melakukan proyek tersebut untuk ‘tahu’ apakah proyek tersebut berjalan dengan benar atau tidak.<br /> Anda harus melakukannya untuk mengatasi munculnya masalah-masalah ditengah proyek berjalan. Itu membuat Anda memiliki pengalaman baru dan bermanfaat.<br /> Apa pesan Einstein? Carilah pengalaman! Jangan habiskan waktumu nonton sinetron cinta sementara dirimu setengah mati menginginkan pacar, misalnya. Keluar dari duniamu sekarang dan pengalaman tak ternilai menunggumu di luar sana.<br /> 10. Pahami Aturan Main, Lalu Bermainlah Lebih Baik<br /> <blockquote>“Anda harus memahami aturan permainan. Kemudian Anda harus bermain lebih baik daripada pemain lain.”</blockquote>Bagi Einstein, dia cukup memahami aturan-aturan dasar Fisika lalu berpikir dan bekerja lebih baik dibanding fisikawan lainnya. Sederhananya, Anda cukup melakukan dua hal saja.<br /> Pertama, yang harus Anda lakukan adalah memahami ‘peraturan’ bagaimana cara Anda melakukannya.<br /> Kedua, lakukan pekerjaan tersebut lebih baik dibanding orang lain. Jika Anda mampu melakukan dua hal ini dengan baik, sukses pasti masuk ke kantong Anda<br />Elsa Fitria Nurwantihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01974601703612896402noreply@blogger.com0
